It’s pretty weak, with God helping a little girl escape a white slaver by telling her to, you know, YELL, which the other abducted children presumably didn’t think to do in their Godlessness (thereby, one wonders with a shock, deserving their fate?).
The best element is probably the quick fix the fundy cop does on serious spousal abuse. He just spouts a little dogma, and the battered couple are all cuddles.
I think old Jack is losing it. Haven’t seem too many of the good old fire and brimstone cartoons lately. And I really miss Jeebuz on the throne in 'pull-my-finger" mode.
Could a biblical scholar shed some light on Exodus 21:16, which Chick uses to condemn slavery?
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
The language, at least in the KJV, seems to me like an implicit endorsement of slavery: stealing someone who is property (e.g., a slave) is punishable by death.
Other translations say “kidnap,” though, which changes the meaning.
This tract looks like Chick had a couple of different ideas that weren’t going anywhere so he decided to stick them together into one story that doesn’t go anywhere.
Aside from the truly vile implied slander against Muslims, there isn’t a single genuinely psychotic or offensive idea. This is one of Jack’s weakest efforts ever. There isn’t even a shot at the RCC. I hope he’s feeling alright.
I hope he hasn’t abandoned the Little Suzy series. It takes a special kind of artist to make an audience want to strangle a cute little girl.
No kidding. That’s one of the lamest Chick Tracts that I’ve ever seen. Still, there are a few good lines. Such as:
Sounds kind of shady, like Jesus is getting into the books behind God’s back and making a few alterations. In fact, that line smacks of a “Get in good with the boss’s son, and then the rules won’t apply to you” mentality.
However, my absolute favorite line from this one is:
What a ripoff. Why, any reputable dealer will give you enough of a trade-in on a slightly used deity that you could get something really nice. You know, like a new TV plus a set of Ginsu Knives.
I dunno–his choice of a female agressor in a domestic violence situation is at the least… interesting. I mean, it happens, but my extensive knowledge of domestic violence statistics, largely acquired from watching COPS, tells me it’s far less common then the other way around.
I don’t understand why a) Holly was the one to get kidnapped when Donna was the one drawn like a miniature adult and b) why they didn’t leave the house together.
Overall: Lame. (And yes, the cop does look like OJ.)
O.J. may not have caught the “real killers” but at least he caught that sleazy old man who broke the 9th Commandment. Hopefully he’ll find the Lord in prison and never lie again.
But, I’m probably more hopeful that I never hear a cop, after apprehending a suspect, say “We have an awesome God.”
